This paper analyses the use of social media by Uruguayan teachers, as well as the role of educational models on the Twitter/X platform. This is a mixed (quantitative-qualitative) study based on a survey of 206 teachers, a social media analysis of the Twitter/X platform, and in-depth interviews with nine leading educators identified on it. The results show that teachers use social media, in general, to find resources, learn from others and stay up to date with current developments in education. Leading educators, on the other hand, are particularly active on Twitter/X, where they share their opinions, thoughts and resources. They have training and professional experience in education and value the interaction, teaching and influence they generate on social networks. The paper also identifies some tips and warnings for using social media in an ethical, respectful and constructive manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Las organizaciones que ejecutan programas o proyectos buscan generar transformaciones en el desarrollo de los territorios donde intervienen por medio de la incidencia en los titulares de obligaciones, responsabilidades y derechos; en este sentido, la aplicación de un sistema de Monitoreo, Evaluación, Rendición de Cuentas y Aprendizajes (MEAL) juega un papel importante ya que permite que organizaciones den seguimiento, evalúen y fortalezcan el impacto que buscan alcanzar en cada proyecto que ejecutan. Para la elaboración del presente artículo se aplicó una metodología cualitativa basada en la revisión documental exhaustiva de motores de búsqueda, manuales de Organizaciones no Gubernamentales, sitios web, artículos, tesis, entre otros, con el fin de determinar la importancia de la aplicación de un sistema de MEAL de influencia, estableciendo una comparación con el MEAL tradicional, identificando las principales diferencias, ventajas y desafíos. Como resultado, si bien los sistemas tradicionales han sido ampliamente adoptados por la mayoría de las organizaciones en el mundo, la incorporación de un sistema de MEAL de influencia en las organizaciones para sus programas, proyectos y acciones sociales representa una alternativa sumamente valiosa para aplicar en sus planes estratégicos y promover estrategias que sean sostenibles en el tiempo y que generen impacto e incidencia en la sociedad civil.

El presente artículo analiza el uso de las redes sociales por parte de los docentes uruguayos, así como el papel de los referentes educativos en la plataforma Twitter. Se trata de un estudio mixto (cuantitativo y cualitativo) basado en una encuesta a 206 docentes, un análisis de redes sociales (ARS) en la red Twitter y entrevistas en profundidad a nueve referentes educativos identificados en la mencionada red. Los resultados muestran que los docentes utilizan las redes, en general, para encontrar recursos, aprender de otros y conocer temas de actualidad, mientras que los referentes educativos se destacan por su actividad en Twitter, donde comparten sus opiniones, reflexiones y recursos. Los referentes educativos se caracterizan por ser profesionales con trayectoria y formación en el campo de la docencia, que valoran la interacción, el aprendizaje y la influencia que generan en las redes sociales. También se identifican algunos consejos y desafíos para intervenir en ellas de manera ética, respetuosa y constructiva.

A influência minoritária surgiu na psicologia social na década de 1960. Este artigo teórico tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar os estudos pioneiros de Serge Moscovici e seus desdobramentos atuais. A partir da explicação do modelo genético de influência social por Moscovici, aponta-se o diagnóstico da falta de abrangência do modelo funcionalista para explicar o conflito de ideias, a conversão e a inovação por ideias minoritárias. O artigo explica esses conceitos e mostra em âmbito de conceito e de operacionalização a consistência comportamental e o conflito informacional. Detalham-se os estudos fundacionais do paradigma azul-verde, a fim de explicitar a construção teórica e metodológica e a incongruência entre ambas. Exploram-se as relações com a teoria da identidade social nas perspectivas divergentes das teorias da conversão da autocategorização. Apresentam-se novos conceitos de minorias: as vitimizadas, as perpetrantes e as que buscam tolerância. Por fim, os autores apontam os avanços já realizados e os ainda necessários, a partir de revisões e análises do campo.

In the recent report The Impact of Influencers on Advertising and Consumer Protection in the Single Market the European Parliament mentions the use of nudity and sexual content and the role of perceptions and expectations towards body image and perfect images. What most moves consumers' attitudes and behavioral intentions is the credibility, attractiveness (both physical and in terms of familiarity and likability), expertise, trustworthiness, popularity, prestige and high power of the influencers. In Spain two White Papers on influencer marketing indicate that a common form of socialization, especially for girls and women, consists of showing a sexy or a perfect body and projecting an egocentric image. The aim of this research is to analyze the presence of self-objectification in top influencers in Spain and to identify its relationship with either social values of success and recognition or stereotypes. The methodology carried out has been a content analysis of 246 images of the first 14 top influencers that appear in the Report of the 500 most influential men and women influencers in Spain in 2022. From a previous literature review, the analysis has been conducted with a deductiveinductive research paradigm through coding with QSR Nvivo the following categories of selfobjectification: (1) sexy self-presentation; (2) appearance-centered attitude towards one's own perfect body - egocentric image; (3) stereotypical gender representation; and (4) success, social recognition, or popularity. The results show that self-objectification is more predominant in women than in men, and that it has an important correspondence with the self-perception of the professions they have as well as with age, being mainly belonging to the Z Generation. Both women and men who selfperceive themselves as having professions in which physical appearance is relevant (models or actors) tend to objectify themselves more. However, success and social recognition are more evident in those male influencers who emphasize their professional facet and do not resort to self-sexualization of their bodies (businessmen, advertisers or youtubers).

Minority influence appeared in social psychology in the 1960's. This theoretical paper aims to present and analyze Serge Moscovici's pioneering studies and their present development. From Moscovici's explanation of the genetic model of social influence, it points out the diagnostic of the lack of comprehensiveness of the functionalist model to explain the conflict of ideas, the conversion and the innovation by minorities' norms and ideas. This paper explains these concepts and exhibits the behavioral consistency and the informational conflict in the conceptual and the operational level. The authors detail the foundational studies of the blue-green paradigm in order to show theoretical and methodological constructs and the incongruence between both. They explore the relationship with social identity theory in the divergent perspectives of the conversion theory and the self-categorization theory. They present new concepts of minorities: the victimized, the perpetrators and those who seek tolerance. Finally, the authors point out the developments already made and those still needed, based on reviews and analysis of the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo el análisis del boca a boca electrónico (ewom) y la actividad de los influencers en la generación del reconocimiento de marca en el sector de la ropa deportiva. Para realizar la investigación se utilizó una encuesta por conveniencia a 99 consumidores y los resultados se analizaron con la técnica de SEM-PLS. Se ha demostrado que los influencers tienen una relación directa y significativa con el reconocimiento de marca, mientras que el ewom no logra tener un efecto directo en la variable endógena; sin embargo, el ewom desarrolla una relación indirecta y significativa mediada por la actividad de los influencers con el reconocimiento de marca. Además, se concluye que los consumidores de ropa deportiva de marca buscan aprobar sus opiniones mediante el respaldo de influencers.

Diante da importância dos comportamentos de prevenção frente à pandemia de COVID-19, buscou-se discutir o fenômeno da influência social e sua dimensão informacional das representações sociais (RS), a partir de comentários em um post sobre o novo coronavírus feito pelo Ministério da Saúde no Instagram. Partiu-se de uma discussão teórica com base na Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), mais especificamente utilizando de uma abordagem dimensional das RS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental qualitativa do tipo descritiva-exploratória. Foram analisados 1.805 comentários acerca de uma publicação do Ministério de Saúde no Instagram, feita no dia 18 de março de 2020 sobre a situação epidemiológica da COVID-19. Realizou-se Análise de Conteúdo Temático-Categorial, identificando as seguintes categorias: 1) Contenção da disseminação coletiva; 2) Implicações econômicas; 3) Estratégias de enfrentamento; 4) Ansiedade; 5) Informações midiáticas; 6) Comparações sociais com outros países afetados. Identificou-se as dimensões de informação, atitude e campo. A RS identificada ancora-se à noção de ameaça à saúde e à economia global. O momento de incerteza favorece a influência informacional, que pode repercutir de modo negativo na população, como também favorecer as ações de prevenção.

Las redes sociales han reestructurado el paradigma de la comunicación en el marketing. Investigaciones recientes demuestran que la conducta de consultar reseñas está adquiriendo un rol fundamental en la decisión de compra de los consumidores. En este contexto, el presente estudio desarrolló un marco de investigación para determinar la cadena de relación entre influencia social, credibilidad percibida del boca a boca, adopción del boca a boca e intención de compra aplicada a la industria cosmética del Ecuador. A través de una muestra de 406 consumidores y la aplicación del método de análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, los resultados evidencian el vínculo existente entre las variables planteadas. Se presentan importantes implicaciones para la gestión de la comunicación del sector analizado.

Why would an individual yield to exogenous incentives and vote against their intrinsic preferences? I aim at answering this question by presenting a game that models the choices of voters who believe that they might receive an incentive associated with their behavior. This game considers the size of the incentive offered, the voter's choice as a strategic best-response to other voters' behavior, and the competitiveness of the election. I find equilibria that show that yielding to exogenous incentives is a best strategy under not very stringent conditions. Finally, I illustrate the predictions from the model using three cases where it has been observed that material or immaterial incentives affected --or still affect-- the behavior of voters: vote-buying and voter coercion during the United States Gilded Age, the electoral behavior of African-Americans, and religious voting.

En el presente estudio se analiza el impacto de la calidad de los argumentos y la experticia de la fuente en la persuasión moral, así como el cambio de un juicio moral en función de un mensaje persuasivo. La investigación sobre el efecto de la calidad de los argumentos y la experticia de la fuente en la persuasión moral es escasa, a pesar de que las teorías del intuicionismo social, del proceso dual y de las convicciones morales sugieren algunos apuntes al respecto. En este trabajo, para estudiar el impacto de estos dos factores en la persuasión moral, se llevó a cabo un estudio experimental con un diseño factorial 2 (experticia de la fuente) × 2 (calidad del argumento), con la participación de 433 personas. Específicamente, para evaluar el juicio moral y su eventual cambio, se construyó un dilema moral que contrapone los fundamentos morales de daño-cuidado y justicia-reciprocidad en el marco del posconflicto en Colombia. Los resultados muestran que si bien la mayoría de los participantes presentaron resistencia a la persuasión, tanto la calidad del argumento como la experticia de la fuente facilitan la persuasión, pero de forma independiente. Los resultados permiten varias reflexiones sobre las teorías del proceso dual de la persuasión y las teorías del juicio moral.

Social networks are critical to the success of behavioral interventions in conservation because network processes such as information flows and social influence can enable behavior change to spread beyond a targeted group. We investigated these mechanisms in the context of a social marketing campaign to promote a wildlife poisoning hotline in Cambodia. With questionnaire surveys we measured a social network and knowledge and constructs from the theory of planned behavior at 3 points over 6 months. The intervention initially targeted ∼11% (of 365) of the village, but after 6 months ∼40% of the population was knowledgeable about the campaign. The likelihood of being knowledgeable nearly doubled with each additional knowledgeable household member. In the short term, there was also a modest, but widespread improvement in proconservation behavioral intentions, but this did not persist after 6 months. Estimates from stochastic actor‐oriented models suggested that the influences of social peers, rather than knowledge, were driving changes in intention and contributed to the failure to change behavioral intention in the long term, despite lasting changes in attitudes and perceived norms. Our results point to the importance of accounting for the interaction between networks and behavior when designing conservation interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los cambios en la actividad humana a partir del confinamiento por COVID-19 han tenido un efecto concomitante en la calidad del ambiente. El propósito principal de este estudio fue conocer la percepción de la calidad ambiental durante el periodo de confinamiento, así como la percepción del grado de participación de las personas en el estado del ambiente. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística de 622 mexicanos que respondieron un cuestionario en línea de 13 reactivos en el 2020. El análisis mostró que, en ese momento, se percibió que el entorno ha mejorado en mayor medida en otras partes del mundo. Por otra parte, se percibió que las personas contribuyen poco en el entorno cercano y en el país, mientras que se percibe que las personas en otras partes del mundo contribuyeron un poco más. La evaluación más específica en el contexto próximo indica que percibieron una mayor contribución personal, así como de círculos afectivos cercanos (familia, amigos) en comparación con vecinos. A nivel personal, se reportó mayor frecuencia de acciones de separación de residuos. Se analizan las implicaciones del efecto de la percepción ambiental y del comportamiento de otros en la conducta personal.

Hoy en día, las acciones de los individuos, los cuales actúan o dejan de actuar movidos por un rumor, pueden tener grandes implicaciones económicas, políticas y sociales. Este artículo propone, en primer lugar, una nueva definición sociológica de rumor partiendo de una investigación bibliográfica y teniendo en cuenta los conceptos de incertidumbre y de la sospecha de la maldad de las élites. En segundo lugar, estudia cómo afectan a la dinámica de difusión de rumores las variables del número de orígenes de un rumor y del umbral de confianza que las personas tienen en las creencias propias. Mediante la construcción de un modelo basado en agentes con el programa NetLogo, se han realizado distintas simulaciones, y los resultados principales son dos. El primero es que siempre hay difusión total del rumor. El segundo es que las dos variables estudiadas afectan a la velocidad con la que se difunde un rumor, pero no al hecho de si este se difunde o no.

This paper explores the relationship between adolescents and YouTubers, with the aim of understanding the meaning and extent of the impact of following a given YouTuber. The limited scientific research on this subject has noted the importance of aspects such as the type of content in video broadcasts, the state of mind that these figures impress upon adolescents, and the level of proximity and idealization displayed by younger followers. To conduct this study, we developed and validated an ad hoc questionnaire. The results support the dimensions proposed and perpetuate certain gender roles. We conclude it is necessary to develop critical media education, raising awareness among families and teachers of the importance of this issue and the need to foster a critical approach in young people to "following" these new idols.

In March 2020, the new SARS-CoV-2 virus arrived to stay amongst us, bringing the most important global pandemic known up to now. The entire world was affected by a health crisis that spread to all sectors of society, leading to company clousures, rises in unemployment rates and many changes in ordinary lifestyle. This pandemic has also had an impact on changes in society's consumption habits and a relevant increase in the use of social networks due to the months of lockdown, which has leaded to important changes in various areas and, specifically, in the fashion and influencers sector. In addition to the pandemic problem, there is the trouble of adapting to the new Spanish regulation, code of conduct on social networks, from January 2021. This research aims to analyze, using a mixed methodology, the changes produced in fashion influencers jobs before, during and after the pandemic, the evolution of fashion brands in digital media and new trends in influencer marketing that have been caused by this new situation. To do so, we have performed a content analysis and interviews with professionals from the fashion sector. Conclusions show a greater control of content, an increase in number of followers and a closer link with brands. Comparisons with the dynamic in other international markets, as well as the future adaptation of the professional activity to current regulations, are the most relevant questions to be addressed in order to be able to expand the study in the future.

The web 2.0 model offers enormous communication potential to inform and educate in extreme crises, such as COVID-19. For this reason, the main objective is to analyze whether destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and tourism influencers 2.0 have used their channels to inform and educate about COVID-19 and the level of influence of this content on users. A quantitative and qualitative methodology is implemented to develop the research protocol, evaluating two periods delimited by the effects of COVID-19 (lockdown and de-escalation). The research is carried out on Instagram, and the sample corresponds to tourism DMOs and influencers 2.0 with the most significant impact on millennials. The results show that COVID-19 has not been a priority either for DMOs or for influencers since posts in this regard have little presence compared to those that promote tourism products and services. Regarding engagement, these types of publications do not have the highest rates, showing followers’ lack of concern. Consequently, there is little interest in health as a new dimension of tourism sustainability from DMOs’ and influencers’ standpoint. However, contrary to the general opinion about the growing role of sustainability, it does fit their preferences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El modelo web 2.0 ofrece un enorme potencial comunicacional para informar y educar en situaciones de crisis extrema, como la derivada de la pandemia por covid-19. Por ello se plantea como objetivo principal analizar si las organizaciones de mercadeo de destinos (OMD) y los influenciadores turísticos 2.0 han usado sus canales para informar y educar sobre la covid-19, así como el nivel de influencia de estos contenidos en los usuarios. Para desarrollar la investigación se implementa una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa y se evalúan dos periodos de tiempo delimitados por los efectos de la covid-19 (confinamiento y desescalada). La investigación se realiza en Instagram y la muestra se corresponde con las OMD e influenciadores turísticos 2.0 de mayor impacto entre los milénials. Los resultados evidencian que la covid-19 no ha sido una prioridad ni para para las OMD ni para los influenciadores, ya que las publicaciones al respecto tienen escasa presencia frente a las que promocionan productos y servicios turísticos. Asimismo, respecto del involucramiento (engagement), no son tampoco este tipo de publicaciones las que mayores índices logran, evidencia de la misma falta de preocupación por parte de los seguidores. Se concluye, en consecuencia, un escaso interés por la salud como nueva dimensión de la sostenibilidad turística, desde el punto de vista de las OMD y de los influenciadores, la cual, sin embargo, y contrariamente a la opinión generalizada acerca del creciente protagonismo de la sostenibilidad entre sus intereses, sí se ajusta a sus preferencias.

Resumen: El entorno en el que viven los niños influye en su riesgo de sufrir obesidad debido, entre otros factores, a los comportamientos relacionados con el peso (es decir, a la dieta y la actividad física). En este artículo presentaremos evidencia sobre los factores socioambientales asociados a la dieta y la actividad física de los niños y, de forma más general, a la prevención y el control de la obesidad infantil entre los niños hispanos y latinos de Estados Unidos y los países latinoamericanos. Utilizando un enfoque socioecológico, presentaremos evidencia procedente de varios estudios transversales y longitudinales realizados en Estados Unidos con niños hispanos y latinos, así como de otros estudios realizados en Latinoamérica en los que también participaron niños. Nos hemos centrado especialmente en los estudios que analizan los factores relacionados con la crianza en el entorno doméstico (p. ej., estrategias de crianza) y, aunque en menor medida, también en los factores socioambientales relacionados con otros contextos de la vida (p. ej., la escuela). La influencia de la aculturación sobre las relaciones sociales transciende los límites del marco conceptual socioecológico. La investigación sobre intervenciones permitió identificar estrategias y brechas de investigación para intervenir los factores sociales que promueven comportamientos saludables y reducen el riesgo de obesidad infantil. Los trabajadores de salud comunitaria y otras formas de apoyo de los pares fueron identificados como elementos relevantes en múltiples niveles del marco socioecológico. Este artículo concluye brindando algunas líneas de trabajo para que futuras investigaciones comprendan mejor el entorno social usando las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación.

This research aimed at investigating whether watching Brazilian advertising pieces that portray a sociocultural behavioral pattern called Brazilian jeitinho would influence participant's subsequent behavior. One carried out an experiment in which 200 subjects watched and assessed three advertisement pieces. Upon recruitment, participants were informed that they would be taking part in a raffle for a gift card. The number of tickets received per participant was defined by a die-under-cup task. The more tickets they obtained, the higher the chance to receive the prize, providing an incentive to cheat. Afterwards, respondents took part in a task that defined the number of tickets that each would receive to participate in the raffle. Independent variables consisted in the manipulation of priming of jeitinho (video content: jeitinho or neutral) and privacy of the task (with or without privacy). On the other hand, the dependent variable consisted in the result obtained when participants rolled the dices that defined the number of tickets. One found a significant difference between the groups in which privacy was manipulated, indicating that the groups that performed the task aimed at measuring dishonesty with privacy actually tended to report lower values than the ones actually obtained, entailing an effect of contrast. This finding suggests that the implementation of public policies that utilize propaganda that portrays Brazilian jeitinho could reduce engagement in dishonest behavior among Brazilians.

In selection processes for administrative teams, leadership is seen as an individual competence. In light of the current sociocultural transformation, leadership should be observed from a perspective of social capital, in which collaboration takes the place of bureaucratic administration. This paradigm shift gives rise to internal conflicts relating to their commitment and influence on the community and the educational project. The objective of this study was to determine the degree of commitment and influence of administrative teams in resilient educational institutions in Chile using a qualitative methodology, content analysis, and an impact matrix. The results show that commitment and influence are determining factors in creating a profile for selecting administrative teams, in which transformational leadership is key for positions with clear social capital and transactional leadership is one feature of technical positions.
